The interviews have gotten much longer with 'Humans of New York.' When I was first starting, I was just photographing people. And then I went to just kind of including a quote or two. Now when I'm approaching somebody on the street, I'm spending about 30 to 45 minutes with them often.

At some point during my travels, I had a slight change of focus which would end up defining the rest of my career. I began taking pictures of people.
